Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can’t get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don’t see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would’ve thought that a boy like me could come to this?
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I’m a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I’ve lost and found, it’s my final mistake
She’s loving by proxy, no give and all take
‘Cause I’ve been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away
It was a long hot night
And she made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it’s over, the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away
Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waitin’
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin’ in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
Workin’ hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some’ll win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waitin’
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin’ in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people
Babe, tomorrow’s so far away
There’s something I just have to say
I don’t think I could hide what I’m feelin’ inside
Another day, knowin’ I love you
And I, I’m getting too close again
I don’t wanna see it end
If I tell you tonight, would you turn out the lights
And walk away knowin’ I love you?
I’m gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize, Amanda
I’m gonna tell you right away
I can’t wait another day, Amanda
I’m gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
I love you
And I feel like today’s the day
I’m looking for the words to say
Do you wanna be free, are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don’t wanna lose ya
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today, will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don’t wanna lose you
I’m gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize, Amanda
I’m gonna tell you right away
I can’t wait another day, Amanda
I’m gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
Oh, girl
You and I
I know that we can’t wait
And I swear, I swear it’s not a lie, girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I, girl
We can share a life together
It’s now or never
And tomorrow may be too late
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
And feelin’ the way I do
I don’t wanna wait my whole life through
To say I’m in love with you
It’s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There’s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words when I
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky’s a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you’d make believe
That you believed my lies
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words when I
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
You parted my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
When I couldn’t fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Oh, for loving me
Five o’clock in the morning
You ain’t home
Can’t help thinking that’s strange
Yeah, yeah
Baby I just want you to know
I won’t go through it again
Yeah, yeah
Those clouds are closing in
Baby love
And I will not accept this as a part of my life (baby love)
I will not live in fear of what may be (baby love)
And the lessons I have learned
I would rather be alone than watch you
Spinning that wheel for me
You’ve got a thing about danger
Ain’t you getting what you want from me
Ain’t you getting what you want from me
You’ve got a thing about strangers
Baby that’s what we used to be (baby that’s what we used to be)
You’ve got a thing about danger baby
I guess the hungry just can’t see
One of these days you’re gonna bring some home to me
Six o’clock in the morning you ain’t phoned
I can’t help thinking that’s strange (yeah, yeah)
It seems that everybody takes their chances these days
Oh yeah, we’re standing in the rain
Baby love
And I will not accept this as a part of my life (baby love)
I will not live in fear of what may be (baby love, oh oh oh)
And the lessons that I learned
I would rather be alone than watch you spinning
Spinning that wheel for me
You’ve got a thing about danger
Ain’t you getting what you want from me (baby don’t you love that trash)
You’ve got a thing about strangers
Baby that’s what we used to be (I know you’re always chasing that ass)
You’ve got a thing about danger baby (like it’s going out of fashion baby)
I guess the hungry just can’t see (just can’t see)
One of these days you gonna bring some home to me
Baby love
How can you love me?
When you are playin’ with my life? (Save me love)
You say, give me time and I’ll do better, I swear (baby love)
Give me time and I’ll lead you back to despair
You’ve got a thing about danger
Ain’t you getting what you want from me? (And I don’t wanna go back there)
You’ve got a thing about strangers
Baby that’s what we used to be? (I don’t wanna go back there)
You’ve got a thing about danger baby
I guess the hungry just can’t see (never going back to that, that’s a fact, baby)
One of these days you’re gonna bring some home to me
To me
To me
Spinning the wheel
Spinning the wheel
Spinning the wheel
Spinning the wheel
Puerto Rico
You lovely island
Island of tropical breezes
Always the pineapples growing
Always the coffee blossoms blowing
And the money owing
And the baby’s crying
And the people trying
I like the island Manhattan (I know you do)
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
I like to be in America
Okay, buy me in America
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America
Buying on credit is so nice
One look at us and they charge twice
I have my own washing machine
What do you have don’t you keep clean?
Skyscrapers bloom in America
Cadillacs zoom in America
Industry boom in America
12 in a room in America
Lots of new housing with more space
(Lots of doors slamming in our face)
I’ll get a terrace apartment
Better you get rid of your accent
Life can be bright in America
If you can fight in America
Life is all right in America
If you’re all white in America
America
La, la, la, la, la, la, America
America
Here you are free and you have pride
Long as you stay on your own side
Free to do anything you choose
Free to wait tables and shine shoes
Everywhere grime in America
Organized crime in America
Terrible time in America
You forget I’m in America
I think I’ll go back to San Juan
I know a boat you can get on (bye, bye!)
Everyone there will give big cheer! (Hey)
Everyone there will have moved here
Aw, aw, aw!
Aw, aw, aw!
Aw, aw, aw!
Hey (hey)
Hey (hey)
Hey
Hi
Hey, ha
Hey!
It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I’ve done
You won’t believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she’s dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions, they’re not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance
Don’t cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
